"The staff is amazing!!!! The grounds are beautiful and the accommodations are perfect. We were on the 4th floor with a beautiful ocean view. The location is great too!! Only a short drive (maybe 5 minutes) to AcadiaI National Park. Also a very short drive to the downtown area. We were traveling with our very expensive bicycles and we felt comfortable leaving them on the back of our vehicle. Of course they were locked and covered but we normally will not leave them unattended, period. I would definitely stay here again."

"Blue Nose Inn provided spectacular views of the water (think beautiful sunrises), ample parking, and so many amenities. The property is within walking distance of restaurants and shops (about 20+minutes), but it's hilly so might not be suitable for some. There are nice touches throughout the hotel - a 24 hr coffee/tea bar, plush robes in rooms and a breakfast restaurant on site with stunning views. Our room was spacious, but dated. Actually, my husband said it was nostalgic for him (pink floral). Overall, we had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property."

Seasider Motel

10/10 Excellent
"This is the basic motel that is the perfect base for exploring Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Why? - free parking - excellent location that is only an eight minutes stroll from the center of Bar Harbor. - you were located nearly at the entrance of Acadia National Park. - there is free bottled water and coffee served all day and night - the rooms are basic, but have hard surface flooring that is very clean (no dirty carpeting)… A comfortable bed… and a very clean bathroom with great shower pressure. While the other hotels are fancier in the area… This was perfect for the price In the evening, I recommend taking the four- minute drive over to the Blue Nose Inn for an old-school opulent bar that has piano music nearly every evening"
